What was this project?
This project was all about creating a stimulating and informative Glog about a particular star during a its specific stage of stellar evolution. A Glog is an electronic poster-board where you can display all the information you would on a regular poster online without all the mess. My group and I were assigned Pleiades, a cluster of young stars. The task then was to scour the internet for information regarding this cluster of young stars and then creatively post it on a Glog.
What did I enjoy about this project?
I enjoyed to a full extent the complete lack of scrapbook paper and glue sticks. A Glog is a great replacement of a handmade poster and didn't loose its spark of personality because of the range of embellishments and backgrounds available. The set of of the Glog's editing toolboxes were arranged very nicely so that things could efficiently get done. Of course, I learned a lot about the young cluster of stars, Pleiades, from browsing the internet. This wasn't necessarily my favorite part of this project, but I did enjoy working with a group, dividing the workload between the three of us.
What didn't I like about this project?
During the research period, I found it difficult to find some of the information necessary. It took a lot of searching to finally find a somewhat decent answer for several of the requirements. During this process of searching, my group and I came across a very interesting group of extraterrestrial life-forms called the Pleiadians. The Pleiadians kept distracting us with their blue tinted skin, pointed ears and alien-like features. They found it necessary to pop up on many websites, contaminating precious information. It was hard to keep the Pleiadians from our Glog, but we kept them away with our amazing detection of true and false information.
What would I do to change the project in order to make it better?
As previously stated, my group and I found it hard to find accurate websites that contained true information. It would help immensely if specific websites for each specific star were provided before the researching process. This way, it would take less time to gather information and more time could be concentrated on using that information to write informative responses to each requirement.
